The property is approached via a secure five-bar timber entrance gate and separate pedestrian gate, opening onto a large, sweeping tarmac driveway that provides extensive parking. An impressive storm porch framed with solid oak timber beams creates a welcoming entrance into a light-filled reception hall where underfloor heating warms the oak flooring underfoot. Positioned conveniently off the hallway is a stylish downstairs cloakroom equipped with a WC and wash hand basin. To the right, the reception space flows into a grand lounge centred around a prominent log-burning stove set within a brick surround on a slate hearth with an oak mantle above. The lounge seamlessly connects to the open-plan dining and living area, where dramatic bifold doors across two walls allow an entire corner of the home to peel back onto a wrap-around decked terrace with sleek glass balustrades, offering an incredible indoor-outdoor entertaining space.
The heart of the home is the stunning chef's kitchen, featuring a striking navy central island topped with white marble-effect quartz work surfaces, complete with an integrated breakfast bar and fitted power sockets. Elegant grey cabinetry frames the surrounding walls, housing a suite of premium Neff appliances-including a fridge, freezer, hob, extractor, wine cooler, and dishwasher. Off the kitchen sits a large walk-in pantry cupboard alongside a vast utility room, perfect for active country living and pets, equipped with a sink, laundry space for a washer and dryer, and direct side access out toward the adjacent detached garage.
The upper elevation continues the home's uncompromising standard of luxury, centred around a spacious open landing currently configured as a highly effective home office area. Thoughtful builder details abound, including a heated airing cupboard with a fitted radiator and a separate dedicated water tank cupboard. The principal bedroom suite serves as a masterclass in design, boasting spectacular dual-aspect bifold doors across two walls that open onto a private wrap-around balcony, providing elevated, un-overlooked views across the landscape. This suite includes a walk-through dressing room fitted with custom rails, cupboards, and drawers, alongside a sleek en-suite shower room fully tiled in grey, complete with a wide vanity basin, storage, WC and a rainfall shower. Two additional spacious double bedrooms complete the first floor, one enjoying far-reaching rural views to the rear and the other featuring a front elevation window, both serviced by a magnificent family bathroom featuring a luxury freestanding bath with mixer tap, a separate walk-in rainfall shower, WC, heated towel rail, and vanity washbasin set against stylish grey wall and floor tiling.
The substantial detached garage sits conveniently adjacent to the main home, accessed via a pedestrian side door parallel to the utility room or via the electric roller shutter door to the front. Inside, an exceptionally spacious mezzanine floor overhead creates enormous potential for future conversion into a self-contained annexe, home office suite, or creative studio space.
Extending to approximately one-third of an acre, the expansive gardens wrap around the residence with sweeping lawns, mostly situated to the rear. Boundary stock fencing ensures the garden grounds merge seamlessly with the undulating countryside beyond, and ensures uninterrupted views over the serene natural surroundings.
